I assume you know the stretch of road I'm talking about, right?

 

[stickit]

I miss "further entertainment". Wish I had money to go again.

OK guy's. I've forged ahead on my 2nd custom bike build. This time there was no beer involved, no pole dancing by me or anyone else in the shop. Thats good cause Danimal was the only one there and for those that know him probably just threw up in your mouth. :lol: I have a couple pics here. Sorry for the mess but see if you can make it out.....and yes this is an actual bike frame.

OK got recent pic updates. It'll look nice and ratty when I'm done. Thanks to Danimal, i now have a bottom bracket and crank set to use on this so I have all the parts to build it. Once the initial build is done, then I'll add some goodies.

Nothin like a little fine tuning.

The 5.00 score that Danimal brought home for me. I'll strip the cranks and bottom bracket for the build

The next stages are really cool. Wait till you see the bars and fork setup

Looking good Brian. We got a lot done last night. Btw are really trying to tell people there is no beer in the shop? They can clearly see a mini-fridge under the bench.


Hey look at the nice green Rollfast/Zep sitting on the back shelf. :mrgreen: 8) Who could that belong to?

Still trying to figure what style seat will go on this. I was gonna hammer out my own metal seat but any feedback will help....brooks or an oversized spring style?

I still say you should stick to the metal seat idea. That one in the garage that has no fabric is perfect.

FINALLY, I'm starting to see "IT".............And I like it!

 

[Danimal]

Here are a few more pics of the mess going on in Brian's garage...doncha like the oversized unicycle? Btw, I'm taking credit for the seat mounting idea. :wink:

 

[thatismytruck]

oh Boy!!

OK I'm back. I recently had the machine work done for the fork and did a temporarily attached it, slapped some bars on it and this is what you get.

That open tube should be a launcher of some type.. like girls in bikinis launcher.. or beer launcher.. or girls in bikinis holding beers launcher?

Of course I know it's winter! Just think of the 'perks'.. and snow cold beer!

 

[thatismytruck]

So glad you're back, Brian. Shouldn't you be Christmas shopping instead of building? Dan's right, that plain steel seat pan is perfect.

VERY KOOL! I like the frame design VERY NICE!
